In a world so dark and seductive, expect nothing less than a triple-cross in the explosive all-new Ghostwalker novel by number one New York Times best-selling author Christine Feehan....
In an underground club, a high-ranking public official spends his secret nights indulging in fantasies as exciting as they are depraved. For a seductive employee of the Dungeon, it's her job to fulfill them. But she's playing a far more dangerous game - one of blackmail, politics, and murder that reaches into the shadow world of the Ghostwalkers, and the creation of a spectacular, one-of-a-kind new weapon of defense.
But when a dictator makes his own catastrophic moves, the Ghostwalkers have no choice but to bring in two major players - a man and woman both driven by passion and revenge. Both expendable. Both with nothing left to lose.
©2012 Christine Feehan (P)2012 Penguin Audio
"Honorable Love"
Whitney thought Sam Knight Jackson & Asami Thorn Osheia were throw aways. But one man's junk is another man or woman's greatest treasure. A treasure hat will be he beginning his downfall as they systematically pick a part his carefully built Empire as only his Ghost Walkers can Game one!
"not a bad,listen"
not my favorite book in the series,but not bad. worth a listen If you file the series
"Christine hits a home run this this one"
Christine once again hits a home run with Samurai Game. Her Ghostwalker Series is one of my favorite Sci-Fi Fantasy Genre and I find it hard to wait for the next book. But she hasn't failed yet in not delivering to her fans.

"Love the series the ghost walkers."
I enjoyed all of the ghost walker books I have read so far. And the narrator is awesome. I wish however there was more romance in the books and not so much action. I still enjoyed the book.
"Outstanding as always!!!!"
You get so involved in the love affair!!! You can feel and see the whole story as if you were there. I loved it.
How they made love for the first time. Very romantic and innocent.
The reader was excellent, He knew how to change his voice with the characters and made you feel what was going on in the story.
The whole thing was very good. I hated to stop listening when I had to get off the plane. I took it as something to do on the plane when I travelled to Alaska and I did not want anyone to talk to me while I listened.

"Love Christine Feehan but not this time :o("
Love Christine Feehan, love the series but this book didn't do it for me. I just couldn't get into the story or the characters. I have really like Sam in the other books but he seemed like a different person in this one?????? And, Thorn... yes thats what I'm calling her was just annoying. Calling Sam, "Sammy" and fluttering her eye lashes, really who does that? Not a kick butt heroin that's for sure. Also while the narrator has a beautifuly rich and deep voice he was NOT meant to do a female. His voice is beautiful and sexy for a man but his ladies sound breathy and "dumb" kind of Marilyn Monroe sings Happy Birthday Mr President (sorry I can't think of a better was to describe it). I'm looking forward to the next book in the series because I KNOW Christine Feehan can not strike out twice. She is an amazing author and I will continue to read her books.
Say something about yourself!
"OK, not as good as previous Game Books"
No, it takes a really intriguing story or an exceptionally written book for me to listen more than once.
only to follow in the series but I think its not required as this book doesn't take the series anywhere.
I like Tom Stechschulte's performances in other series but this one ? not so much. he is too soft for this book.
I was very surprised by the sex scenes and thought some things are just better left to the imagination.
"Nothing Special"
I like the Ghost Walker series of books in ebook format however this is the first audio book I have purchased. The story is getting frustrating because Dr. Whitney needs to be taken down and a fresh protagonist created. There are boundless options awaiting, but with Whitney being so untouchable the storyline is getting unrealistic. I think the series could really benefit if he were defeated and the Ghost Walkers can regain their lives and move on to bigger and better things. That being said the narrator of this audio book was hard to listen to. The flat tones he used to portray the Asians and the unrealistic voice of the African American lead in the story was pretty bad. It took me approximately three months to listen to the entire audio book and for me that is extremely long.
The teleporting and the ingenuity of the female lead character.
He differentiated the characters however the lead characters were unpleasant to listen to.
Hurry to get to the end of the story.
"Great Story, Reader.....NOT SO MUCH"
From her yes. If he is the only reader, no.
It went back to the orginal characters.
He can not read female parts. If he continues to read this series, I highly recommend that a female narrator joins the team. I can not stress enough how bad he is with the female characters. And his take on the Japanese accent was horrible.
I like the new characters that have been added to the orginal team, but where are some of the old ones? What happened to Jeff, the surfer boy? Don't get me wrong, I like the other Ghost Walker teams, but it is nice to find out what is going on with the original team. It would be nice to know what is going on with the team that we have only heard about. I think they were once members of the air force.
"The characters deserved a better storyline."
Christine Feehan's Ghostwalkers series is one of my favorites. The characters, in concert with Tom Stechschulte's performances, make them an automatic buy for me. This is the first book in the series that was truly disappointing; to the point where I had to force myself to listen to the end so that I didn't miss any of the storyline that may be relevant to future books. The only reason I gave this book a 3 star rating, instead of 1 or 2 is because of the beginning and ending of the book.
The first few chapters of the book (an hour or so in audio time) were great, detailing the individual backgrounds of Azami and Sam, Azami's relationship with her brothers and her work to destroy Whitney. Then, the storyline and my interest went south. Azami travels to meet the Ghostwalkers and when she meets Sam, their entourage is attacked. It is during this battle that Sam decides he is in love with her. The next couple hours of dialogue can be condensed into - Sam saying he loves her, Azami says she is not good enough to have the love of any man. Yes you are. No, I am not. Ok, I am. It was endless and painful to listen to because it was repetitive, and more importantly, unrealistic. They had known each other for about an hour. I get the whole Ghostwalkers can sense their soul mate storyline, but this was beyond credulity and when she started calling him "Sammy", I cringed and hit the fast forward. Also, if you removed each time Azami said she was either "a samurai', "trained as a samurai" or one of the endless variety of other references to "being samurai", the audiobook would lose about an hour in length. That said, after Sam and Azami acknowledged their love for each other, the book got interesting again.
The romance was rushed. This story had such potential because the characters individually were interesting - it was only when they were together that they were really boring and had no chemistry together. I am not giving up on this series – I have really liked all the earlier books. If you are new to the Ghostwalker series, don't start with this novel – it is not representative of the earlier books that made me a fan of the series.

ATLANTA -- The New York Mets should have a new starting pitching option within a month.
Top prospect Jenrry Mejia, whose dazzling Grapefruit League performance prompted the Mets to place him on the Opening Day roster as a reliever, is expected to head to the minors to resume being used as a starting pitcher. That could be timed with R.A. Dickey's activation before Wednesday's start, a team source told ESPNNewYork.com.
The decision is believed to have been affirmed during Monday's meeting at Turner Field that included chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon, GM Omar Minaya, assistant GM John Ricco and manager Jerry Manuel.
The Mets could be facing major rotation issues behind Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey, so stretching out Mejia for starting work makes sense. Oliver Perez has been dispatched to the bullpen, John Maine -- while largely producing of late -- doesn't have the zip he had in 2007 and Jon Niese has a mild right hamstring strain.
The Mets will have Dickey face the Washington Nationals on Wednesday and use Hisanori Takahashi in place of Niese on Friday.
It will take Mejia some time to be ready to return to the majors in a starting capacity. It should, in fact, be comparable to a spring-training build-up, when a pitcher throws two innings, then three innings and so on until he's up to a 90- to 100-pitch count.
Mejia is 0-2 with a 2.60 ERA, with 14 strikeouts and eight walks, in 17 1/3 innings spanning 18 major league appearances.
At 20, he is the youngest pitcher in the majors. When he made the Opening Day roster, he became the youngest Mets pitcher to do so since Dwight Gooden in 1984.
Had Mejia remained in the bullpen, he would have been asked to go to winter ball to start, in preparation for earning a rotation spot out of spring training in 2011.
Mejia's secondary pitches -- the ones besides his signature four-seam fastball that acts like a cutter -- remain works in progress.
In nine starts last season with Class A St. Lucie, Mejia went 4-1 with a 1.97 ERA. After a promotion to Double-A Binghamton, he went 0-5 with a 4.47 ERA.

In April, the ABA Legal Education Advisor (LEA) organized the firstcontinuing legal education class modules on land law and ethics for judges andprosecutors at the Cambodian Royal Academyfor Judicial Professionals (RAJP). The LEA worked with EWMI consultant PatBaars and local experts on developing the land law module. The LEA retained asa consultant Professor Peter Hammer (WayneState LawSchool, Detroit Michigan, USA) to work with local judges and prosecutorson developing the ethics module. Finally, the LEA worked with UNICEFrepresentatives on the logistics of payments to the judges/prosecutors and theRAJP.
The land law and ethics modules were delivered to the first RAJP class of 30judges and prosecutors on March 19-21 at the RAJP training center. Theattendees asked a lot of questions and stated that they learned a great deal.These were the first continuing education classes offered to Cambodian judgesand prosecutors. It also represented the first ethics training for judges andprosecutors. The ethics training was particularly timely because thejudge/prosecutor Code of Conduct was recently passed into law. It isanticipated that the ABA LEA will run these training modules to every Cambodianjudge and prosecutor over the course of the year.

Congress & President: Quit stalling on cyber threat information sharing legislation
Congress & President: Quit stalling on cyber threat information sharing legislation
Tim Pawlenty is the CEO of the Financial Services Roundtable
Financial institutions have been the targets of cyberattacks since the dawn of the internet. They fully recognize what cyberattacks could mean for customers, businesses and the economy.
Financial institutions haven't taken anything for granted and have been dedicating massive resources to efforts to stay ahead of the attackers.
Secretary Lew's recent remarks to the Alpha Conference suggested more needs to be done to encourage reporting of cyber attacks — and we fully agree. However, the Administration and Congress have not removed key barriers to improved threat information sharing. They should.
As noted by the Secretary in his remarks, the financial industry has enjoyed a close and open working relationship with the federal government on developing things like the NIST standards. For more than 15 years, the industry has worked with the government and law enforcement to share threat information in an effort to better prepare against cyber threats. But more clearly needs to be done.
Specifically, Congress needs to pass, and the President needs to sign, cyber threat information sharing legislation. Such legislation would encourage and enable companies to better share threat information with other companies and with the government. Such threat information sharing will improve cyber defenses and responses to attacks.
The U.S. House passed common-sense legislation to enable this kind of threat information sharing last year. The Senate has been considering similar legislation. But the longer we wait, the greater the risk to cyber systems.
The Administration issued a statement regarding the House legislation that included a veto threat. That threat, along with the Snowden revelations, have slowed the political will to act on cyber threat information sharing legislation. But Congress and the Administration shouldn't wait for another large-scale attack like the attacks last year against some retailers to act.
Cyberattackers are highly coordinated in their attacks. Our cyber defenses should be even better coordinated. That is far less likely to happen if Congress and the Administration fail to pass and sign into law threat information sharing legislation. The time to act is overdue.

Checkered color is UGLY
I have ordered a red cover before and been very pleased with the quality of the product. But when I recieved the red checkered cover I was very very unhappy with the way it looks. IT IS VERY CHEAP LOOKING. And to return it cost almost as much as the item costs. Which I do not feel is fair at all...since the picture did not show it to be GOLD. There was not much of a description of the products color it is tucked in behind other covers so you can not really tell what color it is. The price for the item is very fair but the description is not good at all. So beware if you are looking and do not want the item to look like you bought it at the dollar store.Read More
Good Value
I love this case! I was looking for something with a hard back to protect my ipad. Bonus that the case can be manipulated so many ways (folded over, used as a stand). The case looks more expensive than it was. I was disappointed in the shipping of the product - it was packaged in a mailing envelope then stuffed in my mailbox. The charger was loose in the package. But since no harm was done to the case it turned out okay. I have not used the charger or the screen protector that came in the bundle - those were extra items that I was really not planning to use (I already have a film for the screen).Read More
Great buy!
iPad 2 case and car charger was a great buy - worth every penny! The folding case stand works awesome because it allows me to stand my iPad 2 up on my desk and listen to music while i'm working, etc. I am totally loving this purchase - makes the iPad 2 a lot easier to handle.Read More

iPad case
I like this case because it swivals to stand both directions. The black is a very practical color, it doesn't show any finger prints. It's as good as the more expensive ones I saw in the stores.Read More
Snug fit!
This is a perfect fit for my ipad 2. Does a great job of protecting it. One thing that the description did not mention is that it is a Smart Cover and does put my ipad on sleep mode once the cover is closed. That was a plus for the prize!Read More
Nice in theory
This is a very attractive case, but it fell apart within days...and I didn't even use it as a stand, I just used it as a cover. The car charger didn't work either. But, it did arrive very quickly and I didn't pay a fortune for it.Read More
perfectly fit to my IPAD 2
perfectly fit in and so far so good. Actually I've purchased exactly same one in Amazon about 4 month ago, but already cut and broke. this one is much better and hopefully stay more..Read More
I just wish it would has held my iPad
A lesson learned, I'm just glad it didn't cost more. The car charger actually charges the iPad (not all after market ones are supported), but the case itself was a waste.Read More

Newt Gingrich Wanted A Mandate In 2010
Newt Gingrich doesn't shy away from addressing his previous support for an individual mandate. But conservatives might be surprised to hear he was arguing for a mandate in ObamaCare as late as 2010. Gingrich, in this 2010 interview with Big Think right before Scott Brown's election to Senate, calls for individuals who don't want to buy health insurance to post a bond.
"I think everybody, certainly we at the Center for Health Transformation would like to see 305 million Americans with health insurance, or with some form of financial coverage. We would accept the libertarian argument that if you don't want to buy health insurance, you could be allowed to post a bond or in some other way to be financial responsible, but we do think everybody should be in a position to have healthcare without having to rely on the state, or rely on charity.
Having said that, we don't want a singer payer system, we don't want a government dominated system, we don't want a bureaucratically imposed system. We want a system where the individual and their doctor have a relationship that's direct and where the individual has substantial choices and substantial opportunity to make responsible decisions."

I applaud the efforts of white and black Christians who participated in the racial unity event in Springfield, Mo. (News, June). I agree that we should focus more on "appreciating each other and creating friendships" than working hard to get people to come to our churches. If we genuinely love and respect people of different races and share God's love with them, they will come!
God created diversity when He made Adam and Eve and then told them to produce children who would be different from one another and their parents, yet alike in many ways. The same story continues to unfold today as an example to the church.
Racial disunity defeats the strength we share, and we cannot tear down enemy walls without the help of every believer. We spend a lot of time dancing around the race issue, but until we let the Holy Spirit change us, we will remain divided. I would love to see a move of God among all races under one roof. This kind of awesome power would be a challenge the enemy would be powerless to destroy!
I like the lyrics to a song we sing in the Church of God in Christ: "Lord, make us one / Lord, make us one / Lord, make us one everywhere / One in Jesus' name / One in Jesus' name / One in Jesus' name ... everywhere."

The Capitals finally got the heck out of Dodge following a miserable homestand. The first game of their road trip found them in frosty Winnipeg, where the Capitals hoped to rid themselves of the gremlins in their defense and get an easy win from a soft opponent.
Haha. As if.
We were goalless until Mikhail Grabovski broke the tedium four minutes into the second period, sweeping a rebound home. The Caps swiftly surrendered that lead on a shorty by Bryan Little. To make junk worse, Andrew Ladd tipped in a Grant Clitsome shot just 70 seconds later. Luckily the Caps still have one guy who can deliver this season: Alex Ovechkin got two late in the second: a breakaway and a set play off the faceoff. Call it the Ovisplosion. Of course, Blake Wheeler knotted it at 3 goals apiece before the buzzer.
Troy Brouwer put then Caps ahead again in the third period, taking a Jedi pass from Nicky Backstrom right up in the kanooblian paint. Little got his second of the night a bit later as the Caps were unable to escape their own zone.
Into overtime we came and went without a result.
Shootout bullets!
- Wheeler had nothing for Holtby.
- Grabo musta left the smooth moves elsewhere on his attempt.
- Little's attempt got kicked away.
- Ovi couldn't get a nibble from Pavelec.
- Ladd beat Holtby stick-side to put the dirty Peg up.
- Nicky B had a sneaky delay to tie it up and send us into extra rounds.
- Jokinen wasn't jokining with a sly five-holer. (Sorry.)
- Brooks Laich roofed it, so kept on going.
- Setoguchi got a low one on Holtby.
- Troy Brouwer roofed it, so we kept on going.
- Evander Kane got denied as the puck rolled on him.
- Marty Erat, the man, WON IT!
Caps beat Jets 5-4 (shootout)!

To prevent foot blisters that are caused by poorly fitting shoes or socks:
- Wear shoes and socks that fit properly.
- You should be able to wiggle your toes in your shoes while you are sitting and when you are standing.
- The inner seams of your shoes should not rub against areas of your feet.
- Decrease friction to the skin of your feet by applying petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline, or tape to areas that are likely to be rubbed by poorly fitting shoes or socks.

Skip to comments.Al Sharpton: KNIFE CONTROL Comes Next After Guns (audio)
Posted on 01/01/2013 9:24:57 AM PST by Nachum
REV AL SHARPTON (28 Dec 2012): In any civilized society you do not see massacres continue to happen, from Tucson to Aurora to Columbine to Virginia Tech to where we are now in Newtown to Chicago and you keep the same laws when clearly they're not working.
ROSCOE IN MARYLAND: What happens when the criminal goes to knives Al?
REV AL SHARPTON: Then you deal with knives.
ROSCOE IN MARYLAND: Oh I see.
REV AL SHARPTON: The same thing as if you have a head cold and the same thing you do if you have a head cold and the cold is gone and you have a headache. Then you take headache medicine. The job of society is to deal with whatever problem confronts it.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Eventually we will get to the scissors, forks, icepicks and hammers battle.
I am waiting for it.
Karate control?
"The job of society is to deal with whatever problem confronts it."
Who defines the problem? Hmmmm?
I declare the Rev. to be a problem.
And I can do a lot more declaring, too!
How many people have leftist governments killed. Isn't that a problem?
Bugger off Al. The second amendment was written specifically to protect people like me from people like you. I choose liberty and freedom over your vision of socialism and fascist control. No more Nazi like controls for the common good.
REV AL SHARPTON: Then you deal with knives.
ROSCOE IN MARYLAND: But what happens when the criminal goes to using his fists Al?
REV AL SHARPTON: You'll have a real democracy.
Actually we need to ban Oompa loompas. The attacks are increasing, something must be done!
Rezist the Charmin, squeeze we munch.
Another joke foisted upon us. IMO their credibility and legitimacy is paper thin. I wouldn't doubt that our "elite" starts openly talking about using violence.
Seriously, everyone needs to calm down. The supreme court has already ruled we have an individual right to bear arms and MANY Democrats agree with us on this issue.
There is ZERO chance of them passing a constitutional amendment, and without that they can't do anything, so chill the heck out.
Maybe some GOP congressman could put an arming the cuban people bill up for consideration. Good enough for the syrians good enough for the cubans.
What we really need is some rabble-rousing Sharpton control.
Oh noes! The Oompa Loompas....
Hate to say it, but we are at the point where SCOTUS can be bribed and Obama can use Executive Orders that are not Constitutional.
We no longer have any Constitutional protections.
See, the thing is, we can't/won't do diddly squat to stop him. Fact is, it would hardly be mentioned except for a few segments on FOX.
How about pundit control? If the Second Amendment allows for controls, then so does the First. (no, in reality neither one does, but perhaps an assault on the First might reveal the folly.)
Who's he talking to or about? Chicago gangsta's??
Beware: Gillette razors.
How about control over Obama's sons?
I predict within a decade you can buy materials and 3D print a crude rail gun or even some form of laser/phaser pistol.
I cannot predict anything about one or multiple shot undetectable zip guns being made from 3D printers because they are already being made.
Who cares what this ghetto trash thinks? He's irrelevant.
They want us in an open air prison called America.
He want to confiscate all of this:
From an old Edison recording...Not PC!
"I don't suppose for a minute that any of coons is got a razor!"
"Oh, no, no!" (crowd)
"He ha ha ha. By the way, Cap'n can I j'in the army, too?"
"Certainly, why - report with James."
"Well if I j'in the army, can we use our razors in dis war?"
"Dat's it, dat's it, Cap'n, can we use our razors?"
"Well, I don't know. I'll have to see about it. Gidde-yap."
(Music)If they let us use our razors in this war,
We'd certainly cut de Germans to de core
- Indeed we will -
We ain't no advertisers
But there'll be no doggone Kaisers
If they let us use our razors in dis war!
Here is a nice song by Irving Berlin.
The Ragtime Razor Brigade
Irving Berlin
Did you hear of the razor brigade?
Of the big reputation they've made?
Ever since they came to France
They've been used in ev'ry advance
They are noted for capturing Huns
And they never go in with their guns
When the Captain takes his stand
He gives them this command:
Take your trusty razor by the hand
Lead him gently into No-Man's Land
Keep a-dancing while advancing
And the first Hun that you meet
Hold up your razors
And cut off his retreat
They'll surrender when they see your blade
Razors make those German lads afraid
And when you bring your pris'ners back
You can make them ball the jack
And the world will say hip-hip-hooray
For the Ragtime Razor Brigade
I knew that was coming! I just knew it! I can smell it still!
"Real men of genius"
Au contrare. The Sharptons of the world are 'head cases' and require being institutionalized.
Who's going to protect people like him from people like us?
I'm waiting for the rash of "mass poisonings" that is sure to happen once we're all running around with safety scissors and sporks.
"In prison, you are denied access to knives."
Which, when you think about it, is pretty hilarious. After all, stabbings are probably the number one type of armed assault in prisons.
It takes a certain kind of conceit to think that we can ever deny humans access to knives. We're humans, we make knives, it's kind of a specialty of ours. Any child can make one if you give them something harder than a lump of clay. Heck, I can take the clay, bake it, break it, and stab someone with the shard if I need to. Give me a glass of water, I can freeze it into something sharp and stab someone with that.
Don't forget to saddle them with a couple hundred pounds of chain, Harrison Bergeron-style. Let's see how agile you are now, Grasshopper!
Headbutt control comes last. You'll report to your nearest fedguv outlet to register your cranium. The frontal lobe tax will be assessed at your regional surgical center at no extra cost.
Since when has requiring an amendment ever stopped the feds from doing whatever the heck they want? Or do I still live in a country that has a tenth amendment, an interstate commerce clause, the free exercise of religion, the right to be secure in my person and propetty from unwarranted searches, the right not to have my property confiscated for any but public uses, etc.? Thought not.
They won't outright ban gun ownership, let alone knives. But that'll be because of regular politics, not the Constitution. By the way, though SCOTUS has admitted an individual right to keep and bear arms, it STILL hasn't incorporated the 2nd amendment among the states as it has the rest of the Bill of Rights.
If knives are like guns then knife handles are like gun magazines and should be next...just heppin Al out with the next ban. Help stamp out gun handles!
What about pointed sticks?
Don't laugh. It's racist. Al is allowed to be stupid because leftists think all blacks are stupid, and Al represents them.
Bows and Arrows have to be on the list, along with Spears, Sling shots, and Rocks.

16/50 lens correction issue - RAW workload vs JPG
Please bear with me as I have little experience of non-p&s photography.
I am thinking of getting the NEX6 with the kit lens as my first camera, but would like to know a bit what I am in for. I have read about the lens' issues and it seems if I shoot JPG the camera do the corrections for my but if I shoot RAW there is a NEX6 profile in LR 4.3 that can be applied to do the same corrections.
I would prefer shooting in RAW (I like the idea of keeping the most possible detail) and then outputting in LS, but I have not done this before so I would like to get an idea of the workload involved.
I understand that in order to correct my deficiencies as a photographer the work in LR can become tedious but that I am prepared for in order to learn.
But as for correcting the deficiencies of the lens, is that something like a "click to apply" solution or will each RAW image require manual choices and things to be done to it in order not to be distorted or vignetted?

Mauro and Fabrice meet up in a nice, romantic garden. Although things don't really start off sexual, it ends up happening in a rather big way. The sparks start to fly, and soon enough these two aren't able to contain their sexual energy. They fucking love to rub up and down each other's bodies, playing with their dicks, bodies, and asses. They suck those sweet dicks, and then go for a bit of anal fingering. Of course fingers are soon replaced by a cock, and their moans fill up that garden. Hooray for gay Latinos.

' JOSEPH A. LUC SEY F BY gz mounting arrangements BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a stand or pedestal for a television receiver or like appliance and, more particularly, to an antitheft stand which prevents unauthorized removal of the appliance from its surroundings but otherwise permits use thereof in an ordinary manner.
Many motels, hotels, and other places accommodating transient guests have a television set, radio or other expensive appliance placed in many if not all of the inreceivable within the closure section and has shoulders or ledges projecting from opposite sides thereof which are encompassed by flanges extending inwardly of the cavity of the closure to thereby enclose the platform and hide from view the means by which the appliance is secured to one of the two members.
As will be more fully understood from the more detailed description that follows, the cooperating dividual rooms for the use and convenience of their guests. While such appliances are often relatively expensive (a color television receiver, for example), it is not usually practicable to always maintain the individual rooms under close surveillance. For this reason such appliances have become a target for theft.
In order to protect television receivers and similar appliances, arrangements have been provided in the past for mounting these receivers within the guest room in such a manner that unauthorized removal thereof is made difficult. For example, US. Pat. No. 3,291,432 issued on Dec. 13, 1966 to the present applicant is directed to a mounting arrangement which is particularly applicable for this purpose. However, such prior for securing receivers or the like at a particular location have not been intended as effective antitheft arrangements because the particular means by which the appliances are attached to the stands, or the stands secured to a floor or wall surface within the rooms, is often visible and invites tampering provided that the appliance is sufficiently valuable which is the case with color television receivers. Also, prior arrangements do not always television provide the versatility that one might desire in place- 7 ment of a television receiver and control over the degree to which it can be rotated or otherwise moved for viewing from different positions within a room;
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a stand for mounting and supporting a television receiver or the like on a surface in a manner which materially impedes and substantially prevents unauthorized removal of the same in an effective, non-obvious manner. In its basic aspects, the stand of the present invention includes a base for engagement with a supporting surface on which it is desired to mount the appliance, and means for nonremovably securing the base to the surface. A support post projects from the base and has a platform structure or bracket at its free end for non-removable attachment to the appliance. I
In keeping with theinvention, the bracket or platform of the stand is designed to provide the desired non-removable attachment of the appliance thereto in a quite simple manner but nevertheless effective to prevent one who would be tempted to remove the appliance from discovering and having access to the par ticular means by which'it is secured to thestand. To 7 tions is adapted to be non-removably or' semi-permanently secured to the post. The platform section is shoulder-flange arrangement provides a simple means of securing the two sections of the bracket together in a manner assuring the desired concealment of the fasteners by means of which the appliance is fastened to the plate section of the bracket. The bracket arrangement can also be used to conceal the securing means used for the mounting arrangement by means of which the entire stand is secured to a wall or floor surface of the room. In this connection, the stand is most desirably provided in various dismantlable pieces to facilitate its shipment and handling, and the means for securing the stand to a room surface is also used to nondismantlably secure the various parts of the stand together. That is, the post of the stand is most advantageously formed as a separate piece from both the base of the stand and the bracket thereof, and the securing means employed to fixedly secure the stand to .a desired room surface also secures the bracket to the post and the post to the base. This multi-function use of the securing means simplifies installation as well as facilitates shipment.
The inventive stand also includes means for providing a selected degree of angular rotation for the television receiver so that it can be viewed conveniently from different locations in a room. As a particular salient feature of the invention, the means providing the angular displacement is adjustable so that the amount of rotation provided by each stand can be selected to fit the particular requirements and limitations of any installation. Most desirably, such means are also tamperproof so that once the bracket sections are placed 7 together with the closure section enclosing the platform section, a guest cannot adjust the degree of rotation selected.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS platform structure or bracket component of the stand and to which the television receiver is fixedly attachable; 1
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the bracket component of the stand taken on a .plane indicated generally by the lines 3- 3 in FIG. 1 and illustrating the particular manner in which the degree of rotation of I FIG. Sis an enlarged broken detailed view showing one of the stop pins.
DETAILED DESCRIPTIONOF THE-PREFERRED EMBODIMENT or how the stand issecured to the room wall 14 which,
in the case illustrated is the floor wall. Moreover, the stand 11 does not include any exposed fasteners or the like to tempt one to tamper therewith in order to effect removal of the receiver 12.
The stand 11 includes a base component 16 which is yet being-effective not only to prevent unauthorized made up of four equally spaced, radially extending legs 17 (only two of which are shown) which terminate in downwardly turned feet 18 for engagement with the floor surface 13. The legs 17 radiate outwardly from a ponent 22 is received within the base collar 19 and projects upwardly therefrom. More particularly, the collar 19 includes intermediate its ends an annular shoulder 23 which extends circumferentially inwardly and upon which the lower end of the post 22 seats. A bracket component or platform structure, generally referred to by reference numeral 24, is supported upon the'upper end of the post 22 and it is adapted to have the appliance 12 attached thereto.
As one particularly salient feature of the invention, the bracket component 24 enables the television receiver 12 to be attached to'the stand in a manner which is not apparent and yet easily enables an authorized person to remove'thereceiver for'repair or replacement. That. is, the bracket is made up of two main parts or sections, a box-like closure or receptacle 26 adapted for s'ecurance to the post 22 and a platform section orplate 27 adapted to'be attached to the television receiver and releasably confined within the closure. As is illustrated best in FIG. 2, the closure 26 is generally rectangular in shape with a rectangular base or bottom wall 29 from the edges of which side walls 29, 30, 31, and 32 extend upwardly to thereby define a rectangular cavity for reception therein of the platform section 27 J The platform section 27 is defined by a generally rectangular top wall 33 from the edges of which side walls.34,3 6, 37, and 38 extend downwardly. Such platform section is adapted to be fixedly attached to the television receiver by a plurality of releasable v fasteners. That is, the top wall 33 is provided with a plurality of spaced apart apertures 39, in this case four, through whichrbolts 41 can extend upwardly for engagement with complementary threaded bores provided in the base of the television receiver. As is illustrated, the heads of the bolts 41 are located along the inside surface of the top wall 33 of the platform section, and when this section and the closure section 26 are assembled, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4, such bolt heads are neither visible nor accessible.
The particular manner in which the platform section 27 is secured within the closure 26 is quite simple while disassembly of the bracket structure but also to provide the desired unobviousness or concealment of the manner in which the television receiver is fixedly secured to the bracket. To this end, the opposed front and rear side walls 30 and 32 of the closure 26 have flanges 42 and 43 respectively extending inwardly from the upper edges thereof. Such flanges thus extend inwardly of the cavity defined by the closure at locations which are spaced above the base wall 28. The platform section 27 has shoulders 44 and 46 defined at opposed sides for underlying cooperation with the flanges 42 and 43 to maintain the platform section in position within the closure 26. Such shoulders are provided by the top wall 33 of the platform section, and which ,top wall is relieved adjacent its edges (from which the front and rear side walls 36 and 34 extend) to provide the shoulders or ledges 44 and 46 which fit beneath the flanges 42 and 43.
As can best be seen from FIG. 4, the front-to-rear width dimension of the platform section 27 is less than the corresponding width dimension of the cavity of the closure 26 which permits the platform to be movable within the cavity for a limited distance in the direction of such width. When the platform section 27 is in the location or position relative to the closure 26 illustrated in FIG. 4, the flanges 42 and 43 overlie the shoulders 44 and 46 and prevent upward withdrawal of the platform section from the closure cavity. However, the
I top wall 33) is greater than the front-to-rear width of the flange 43 and ledge 46 which permits the platform to be moved rearwardly in the cavity to the extent that the ledge 46 no longer underlies the flange 43, whereupon the ledge is free from the flangeand the platform 26 can be pivoted upwardlyv along the wall 38 thereof to permit it to be removed from the closure 26 (or inserted thereinto), as shown in FIG. 2.
Locking means are provided for normally retaining the platform 27 within the closure 26 with the inwardly extending flanges 42 and 43 of such closure encompassing or overlying the shoulders or ledges 44 and 46.
. More particularly, a key operated lock 47 is fixedly secured to and extends inwardly from the upwardly projecting wall 32 of the closure 26. The lock 47 has an outer housing 48 rigidly secured within an aperture in the wall 32 of the closure and extending inwardly therefrom into the space enclosed by the platform 27 when the two sections of the bracket 24 are fitted. together. In this regard, the wall 38 of the platform is notched to provide a recess 49 to enable the platform to be received within the cover, as aforesaid, without the lock housing 48 presenting an obstruction.
Thev lock housing .48 normally encloses a lock cylinder 51 which has a tongue 52 extending from its rear end. As is illustrated, the tongue 52 projects through an aperture 53 in a locking flange 54 depending downwardly'from the underneath surface of top wall 33 of the platform 27. The lock cylinder is normally retained within the lock housing 48, as is conventional, via tumbler pins associated with the cylinder which engage radial grooves in the lock housing. Insertion of the proper key into the'tumbler, though, will be withdrawn from lock. housing 48, thereby removing the tongue from the latch aperture 53.
The length of the tongue 52 is chosen relative to the position of the locking flange 54 and permissible frontto-rear displacement of the platform 27 that when the lock cylinder 51 is engaged within the lock housing 48 and the platform 27 is moved to its most forward position within the cavity of the closure 26, the tongue still extends through the aperture 53 in the lock flange so that the platform cannot be removed from the closure. The result is that even though the platform 27 is slidably displaceable within the closure 26 when the lock is in its locking mode, the platform .cannot be removed. However, when one is supplied with the appropriate key for removing the lock cylinder 51 from the lock casing 48, the platform 27 and, hence, any appliance 12 affixed thereto, can be simply removed from the closure and the remainder of the stand by simply sliding the platform forwardly to clear ledge 46 from the flange 43 and then pivoting the platform upwardly to free it from the closure.
Besides the bracket 24 making inaccessible the particular means (i.e., bolts 41) by which the television receiver 12 or other appliance is secured to the stand, it also provides this same function for the means which securesthe stand to the floor 14. Most desirably, the major component of such securing means is in the form of a tie rod 56 which extends axially through the support post 22 with its upper end projecting beyond such support post into the closure cavity and with its lower parts of the stand together. In this connection, it is to be noted that although the tubular support post 22 is received within the collar 19 of the base, it is not directly secured thereto in a rigid manner. Moreover, the closure 26 of the bracket 24 is supported upon the upper end of the post 22 but is not directly secured thereto. Rather, the tie rod 56, in extending from inside the closure throughthe support post into the floor 14, secures the closure to the support post and secures the support post to the base 16. Thus, the stand can be manufactured and shipped in a disassembled form to reduce its ultimate cost to the customer. However, the customer can easily assemble the stand while mounting it in the room therefore since the tie rod 56 provides both the means for holding the stand together and the means for securing it to a floor.
It will be noted that the bracket 24 is secured to the support post 22 via a lazy susan arrangement which permits the bracket 24 (and television receiver 12 supported thereon) to be rotated relative to the axis of the support post. That is, a pair of parallel plates 71 and 72, between which are positioned a plurality of ball bearings 73 located in a circular raceway formed in the end extending completely through collar extension 21 vided for this purpose in the floor 14. As is illustrated, the lower end 58 of the tie rod is threaded and has received thereon-below the floor a toggle nut 59. The opposed wings 61 of the toggle nut are resiliently urged outward into the position shown to prevent the tie rod from being withdrawn upwardly through the. aperture 57. However, as is conventional, such wings can be pivoted inwardly to positions adjacent the tie rod to enable the end 58 with the nut 59 thereon to be initially inserted through the aperture 57 at the time the stand is being mounted in a room. A lock nut 62 on the rod end 58 bears downwardly upon the floor l4 and prevents the rod 56 from rotating.
As can best be seen from FlG. 4, the upper end 64 of the tie rod 56 projects upwardly beyond the post 22 through a collar 66 into the cavity defined by the closure 26 of the bracket 24. A nut 67 is threadably received on the tie rod end 64 and bears against a washer 68 which is, in turn, in engagement with and bears upon the collar 66. It will be appreciated that with this arrangement, thetie rod 56 with nuts 59 and 67 on its opposite ends acts to. maintain the stand in fixed engagement with the floor 14. It does so while being entirely out of sight, thereby making the particular manner in which the stand is secured to the floor unobvious, completely inaccessible when the bracket floor but also to non-removably secure the various plates, are disposed intermediate the the upper end of the post 22 and the under surface of the closure base wall 28. The plate 72 is rigidly secured to the closure base wall, such as by means of rivets 74, and the plate 71 is in engagement with and seated upon theupper edge of the support post 22. The aforesaid collar 66 through which the tie rod 56 extends acts as a journal for at least the upper plate 72 and base wall 28, and the ends of the collar are flared outwardly to extend over the inner upper surface of the base wall and the outer lower surface of the plate 71 to interconnect and maintain the components of the lazy susan" in their assembled condition.
It will be seen that with the above-described construction, rotation of the bracket 24 and, hence, any appliance 12 secured thereto, with respect to the remainder of the stand is provided. This enablesa guest to adjust the television receiver to face different locations in the room within which it is mounted. It will be appreciated, though, that it is often desired to limit the angular extent to which the receiver is rotatable so that item be kept fromcolliding with adjacent walls, fumiture, etc. As another important feature of the stand 11, it includes means for limiting the extent of the permissible rotation of the bracket 24 and receiver 12 thereon and for also enabling the angular extent of such rotation to be selectively varied to accommodate various installations. To this end, an arcuate array of apertures 76 extend through the base wall 28 of the cover. Such apertures are arranged around the .axis of rotation of the bracket, and each aperture is adapted to selectively receive one orthe other of a pair of stop pins 77. As illustrated, a stop bar or extension 78 projects radially outward from plate 71 and the are described -by the apertures 76 is in alignment with or overlies the stop bar.
The result of the arrangement is that by appropriate ly selecting two of the apertures 76 for the pins.77
(which extend downwardly therethrough forabutment with the extension 78, as seen best in FIG. 5), the degree of angular rotation of the bracket can be limited to a desired sector. That is, the stop bar 78 is always located between the two pins77, and such pins act as stops that abut the bar and thereby define'the limits of With this arrangement, therefore, the degree of angular rotation allowed by any particular stand can beadjusted to accommodate a-desired installation; and if only one pin is used, essentially 360 adjustment is available. It is to be noted that the heads of the pins 77 are enclosed by the cover plate when the platform is received therein and. have a high-friction engagement with the circumjacent edges of the openings76. Thus, the pins cannot be moved by unauthorized persons from one pair of apertures to another.
While the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment thereof, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, although the specific embodiment is shown and described with the television receiver 12 secured to'the platform section 27 and the closure 26 secured to the post 22, this arrangement can be reversed. That is, the bracket can be inverted and the closure section secured to the television receiver and the platform section supported upon the post. Other changes and modifications will also be apparent, and it is therefore not intended to. limit the protection afforded the invention beyond thescope of coverage provided by the claims and their equivalents.

Chamber, Car Dealers Contest California Tailpipe Emissions Rule
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Automobile Dealers Association have filed a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to review the federal government's decision to allow California to set its own auto emissions standard, reports Reuters.
In June, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted California a waiver that allows the state to regulate tailpipe emissions. The court action was filed against the EPA and its administrator, Lisa Jackson, reports the New York Times' Wheels Blog. A "statement of issues to be raised" is due at the court by Oct. 13, according to the blog.
The two industry groups are concerned that the EPA's decision will set a precedent for California to set stricter emission standards for different emitting sectors, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Frank O'Donnell, head of the environmental-advocacy group Clean Air Watch, told the Wall Street Journal that the lawsuit attempts to undermine states' rights, and signals that there could be additional corporate efforts to block other greenhouse gas initiatives.
However, the court filing does not have the backing of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents all three of the major American automakers, according to the Wheels blog. Auto manufacturers earlier this year agreed to not fight a national emissions standard the Obama administration wants to implement, reports the blog.
In May, the Obama administration established rules for a single national regulatory standard for fuel efficiency, which will also regulate tailpipe emissions, reports the blog. The national policy is expected to set fuel efficiency at 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016.
According to the blog, the lawsuit appears not to be targeted at blocking the national policy, but at preventing the precedent of allowing states to regulate greenhouse gases.
Reader Comments
Gee, what a surprise. If the auto industry had played along with the EV 8 years ago, this blog would not exist! Despite all of the attention on the environment, someone out there still fights to keep the old game going. And what shocks us all? Just like the EV, this fight will be won by the plaintiff.

I don't know if you can stand up straight after drinking all of those! However, it was new year's eve!
And no, I did not drink all of those; if I had, I wouldn't be able to take a picture of them!
Happy New Year everyone!

Child Welfare League of America, Inc., aka CWLA
Rating: 4.78 stars 65 65 reviews
1726 M Street NW Suite 500 Washington DC 20036 USA
CWLA is a powerful coalition of hundreds of private and public agencies serving vulnerable children and families since 1920. Our expertise, leadership and innovation on policies, programs, and practices help improve the lives of millions of children in all 50 states. Our impact is felt worldwide. CWLA leads and engages its network of public and private agencies and partners to advance policies, best practices and collaborative strategies that result in better outcomes for vulnerable children, youth and families. Our vision is that every child will grow up in a safe, loving, and stable family.
We recently led more than 150 agency administrators, directors, social workers and other leaders to Capitol Hill to prioritize vulnerable children and families. It's the year's largest national advocacy event for child welfare, human service, and behavioral health professionals. We focused our efforts on critical issues, like: improving services and supports for older youth who are transitioning out of foster care; strengthening the child welfare workforce; and responding to abuse and related trauma in ways that allow children to safely remain with their parents or extended family when possible, and to recover from the effects of trauma. This spring we are publishing our latest Models of Practice curriculum, titled, Collaborating with Kinship Caregivers: A Research to Practice Evidence-Based Curriculum for Child Welfare Workers and Their Supervisors. This 12-hour program teaches public and private agency-based child welfare staff and community advocates how to work with grandparents and other relatives who are raising their younger family members because of parental abuse and neglect. Nationally, there are more children living in "kinship care" than with foster parents, and this model of practice teaches how to work with kin on a range of critical concerns, such as legal and financial issues, child behavior, family relationships, health and mental health, and navigating or accessing community supports.
